New Haven County Consumer Debt Lawyer Explains Making Debt Collectors Prove You Owe a Debt

I get questions as a New Haven County Consumer Debt Lawyer wondering if debt collectors need to prove your debt they are calling about. I tell them that one of the most significant consumer rights enshrined in the Federal Debt Collection Practices Act is your right to ask a debt collector to prove or provide evidence that you indeed owe the debt they claim you owe. This is stated in the initial letter from a debt collector which notifies you of your right to verify the debt.  As a New Haven County Consumer Debt Lawyer I always tell clients that it is crucial that you reply within 30 days of receipt of that letter in order to exercise your right to demand verification of the debt.

If you need help with a collection company proving the debt they are calling about, please contact our experienced New Haven County Consumer Debt Lawyer.
